Country racing returns to Tamworth Jockey Club on Thursday afternoon, with a competitive eight-part program lined up in the New England region. The $200,000 Tamworth Showcase Cup (1400m) headlines the action, with a capacity field of 14 assembled for the event. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with no significant rainfall forecast to hinder proceedings, punters can expect a Good 4 surface. 2025 Tamworth Showcase Cup Day is set to commence at 12:30pm AEST.
Tamworth Showcase Cup Tip: West Of Africa
West Of Africa will need to lug top weight (59.5kg) to victory in the Tamworth Showcase Cup and looks to have the class to get the job done. The son of Not A Single Doubt was sensational on testing conditions to finish in the minor money alongside Grebeni in the Muswellbrook Gold Cup (1500m) last time out and should be a big improver back on on top of the ground. He gains the services of NSW’s best country hoop Aaron Bullock, and with West Of Africa likely to sit within striking distance as they peel for home, watch for this guy to prove a class above.

Best Bet at Tamworth: Cheeky Dancer
The Ciaron Maher-trained Cheeky Dancer was doing her best work late at Hawkesbury on April 5, hitting the line well to suggest the daughter of Menari is set to peak third-up. The lightly raced four-year-old should relish stepping out to the 1400m, and with this country maiden a significant drop in grade, she looks well placed for success. Ashley Morgan can take complete control from stall three, so expect Cheeky Dancer to have no issues justifying the short price with horse racing bookmakers.

Next Best at Tamworth: Asgoodassobergets
Asgoodassobergets ran into a smart one in the form of Flying Bandit at Hawkesbury on April 9 and seemingly needed the ran as he whacked away mid-field three lengths away. The son of Dariyan lacked fitness second-up into the campaign and should take dramatic improvement stepping out to the 2100m despite being afforded a hefty weight to carry (63.5kg). He gets some relief in the form of a 1.5kg claim of apprentice hoop Shannen Llewellyn, and with this a much easier assignment than what he’s faced early in the preparation, expect Asgoodassobergets to be right in this.
